Pro Plan® Grant Program
Pro Plan is dedicated to promoting the health, welfare and future of purebred dogs. Through the Pro Plan Grant Program, we aim to be a strategic financial partner for breed clubs as they work toward a positive future for these exceptional breeds.
Since 2002, Pro Plan has helped to raise over $9 million towards canine health research, education and rescue efforts.
How It Works
Breed clubs can apply for a grant for up to $5,000, to be used towards education, health initiatives, events and more that support breed preservation efforts. The process happens annually. The application window opens in June, with applications due at the end of September. Decisions are sent out in early December.
Who Is Eligible?
Not-for-Profit national breed clubs affiliated with registries such as AKC and UKC or 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations whose primary function is to promote, protect, and preserve specific dog breeds.
How to Apply
The Pro Plan Grant Program will begin accepting applications in June 2026. All applications must be received by September 30th, and decisions will be sent out in early December. Applications will need to be submitted annually for organizations to continue to receive funding.

What’s Happening to the PPCP?
After a successful run that lasted over two decades and raised over $9 million towards canine health research, breed rescue, and education efforts, the Purina Parent Club Partnership (PPCP) Program will be discontinued as of December 31, 2025. Pro Plan is proud to continue supporting canine health through the new Pro Plan Grant Program and other ongoing initiatives.
